Automatically Cleaning Print Cartridges
If your printed pages are missing lines or dots, or if they contain ink streaks, the print cartridges need to be cleaned.
Print cartridges are cleaned automatically using the following procedure:
If your printouts are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, the ink level may be low in the print cartridge. If so, one or both print cartridges may need to be replaced.
If ink streaks still appear on your printouts after cleaning, the print cartridges and print cartridge cradle may need to be cleaned manually.

Only clean print cartridges when it is necessary. Unnecessary cleaning wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.
